Chapter 133: Comrade-in-Arms!
Liu Linsheng: It's not surprising, all of them are ethnic minorities here, except
Young people, older people, don't understand Mandarin very well.
Lin Chengshu: No wonder, he keeps waving his hand to me!
Liu Linsheng: The young people here have gone out to work, and those who are left behind are the elderly and children.
Lin Chengshu: I don't see many houses, but the population is very small!
Liu Linsheng: The population is quite a lot, not counting the seven families in the opposite half of the mountain, there are 43 families here, a total of 309 people!
Makoto Hayashi: That's really not much!
Liu Linsheng: Many people don't want to live here anymore, and the only means of transportation is the train; Twice a day. Most people here take this bus to Tongzhou to catch the market, sell vegetables for some money, and come back by train at 7 o'clock in the evening.
Lin Chengshu: Take the train to catch the market?
Liu Linsheng: That's right, there are only three stations in Tongzhou here, only three yuan, and it takes half an hour to arrive. The people who can take the train to catch the market are still the people on this side of the river! The seven families who live on the mountainside on the other side of the river you just want to go to go to the market have to walk! The suspension bridge you just saw has not been walked for decades, and the people on that side can only walk, climb a few mountains and walk for five hours to Tongzhou!
The first time Lin Chengshu saw such a place, he liked it and was curious!
The second train to be let has already passed, and it is time for him to get on the train.
Lin Chengshu: I still like it here, but it's too late, otherwise I'd like to hear more about it.
Liu Linsheng: Yes, there is the Beipan River under the suspension bridge! Simple, I have always been here, and you will come here to sit when you come back; I'll just tell you, let's make friends.
Lin Chengshu: Really? Then it's decided!
Liu Linsheng: It's decided, come and leave a call, next time you come, I'll kill a chicken for you to eat.
Lin Chengshu: Okay!
They exchanged phone calls, and Lin Chengshu got in the car.
Lying in bed again, I kept thinking about the beautiful scenery I had just seen; It turned out that A-Ning's hometown was like this in the early winter, he took out a pen and a notebook from his backpack, and drew what he saw, so that he could show A-Ning when he saw him again......
The train traveled in a long, long tunnel for fifteen minutes, and then came out and entered Tongzhou Station; He followed the crowd out of the train station, and at the exit of the station, he saw a card held high with Lin Chengshu's name written in the distance; When I got closer, I knew that the person holding the sign was Ji Xinning's sister, she showed him the photo, she herself looked like Ji Xinning than in the photo, she was not as tall as Ji Xinning, a little fatter than Ji Xinning, her eyes and nose bridge were very similar to Ji Xinning.
Lin Chengshu: Sister, hello, I'm Lin Chengshu!
Ji Xin'an: Lin Chengshu, hello, I'm Ji Xin'an, Xiao Ning's sister.
After introducing themselves in such a restrained way, they ate a bowl of beef noodles together in a restaurant at the station; Lin Chengshu is not the first time to eat beef, but it is the first time to eat such noodles, Ji Xin'an said that beef noodles are a special snack here, and the taste is really good.
Ji Xin'an: Then we'll go home?
Makoto Hayashi: Okay!
Lin Chengshu followed Ji Xin'an and got into the van of "Railway Station-Sishui", and they sat in the innermost row; Coming out of the train station, you can see two large chimneys, which are emitting thick white smoke.
Ji Xin'an: This is the chimney of the Tongzhou power station, which burns coal, so this area looks like it is dyed with black ash.
Lin Chengshu: It doesn't look bright, but when the train stopped at the thatched shop, I came down to take a look, and it was really beautiful.
Ji Xin'an: It's good to get out of Tongzhou City.
Lin Chengshu kept looking out the window, not wanting to miss any of the scenery; When you come out of the train station, you can see the black houses on the side of the road and the cable car used to transport coal.
Ji Xin'an: Tongzhou City is also called Coal City, because it is rich in coal and generates its own electricity, so it does not cost much to use coal and electricity, and the electricity generated here is also in the "West-East Gas Transmission" project.
Lin Chengshu: Wow, it turns out that A-Ning grew up in a rich city!
Ji Xin'an: Yes, the poor people in the rich area, Xiao Ning really suffered a lot to get out!
Lin Chengshu: Sister, it will be fine in the future.
Ji Xin'an: Well, it's getting better and better, is Xiao Ning's injury serious?
Lin Chengshu: It's serious, but A-Ning is very strong, and she will definitely be able to get back on her feet.
Ji Xin'an: But why didn't the school notify you of such a big thing?
Lin Chengshu: A-Ning, she repeatedly asked the school not to inform you, she was afraid that you would worry; So sister, don't say that you missed it when you go back in a while!
Ji Xin'an: Well, the school should have arrangements for her situation, right?
Lin Chengshu: Well, it should be a first-class merit or a second-class merit, which will also help her arrange work in the future, and when A-Ning is discharged from the hospital and returns to school, she will know about it.
Ji Xin'an: As long as she's fine!
Makoto Lin: Well, in fact, in that situation, anyone will come forward; Your own beliefs, your own sense of responsibility!
Ji Xin'an stopped talking, she should still be very worried about Ji Xinning, Lin Chengshu didn't know what to say, so he could only look at the scenery outside the window.
The car drove cautiously along the winding mountain road, the road was only enough for one car to pass, and the car could only reverse to give way; The road is close to the mountain on one side and a cliff of several tens of meters on the other.
After seeing the road sign of Tieya, there is no longer a cliff along the way, there are green winter wheat and terraced fields on both sides of the road, and there are red leaves in the distance, and the trunks of trees that have lost their leaves, which look very harmonious, quiet and beautiful in the warm sun......
Lin Chengshu: Sister, the winter here is beautiful!
Ji Xin'an: It's okay, it doesn't snow in winter now, it's not as beautiful as when we were young, and it's not as beautiful as when we were young!
Makoto Lin: Is it cold in winter?
Ji Xin'an: It's just that there is no sunshine, and it's not cold; It's been more than half of autumn, and the sun is still shining every day!
Lin Chengshu: It's amazing to think about it, I was still in Beijing at this time yesterday; It's still snowing in Beijing! Now the sun is shining here!
Ji Xin'an: It can also be said that the four seasons on our side are like spring, there is no heat or cold, and we have to cover the quilt all year round!
Makoki Hayashi: I really like the weather here.
Sister: It's really cold in Harbin!
Makoki Hayashi: Well, but I'm used to it!
Ji Xin'an: How did you and Xiao Ning meet?
Lin Chengshu: In Shenzhen, my college entrance examination is over, and I have a summer job, and I met at that time; A Ning Xin is very talented in everything she does, and she works very hard, and I liked her the first time I saw her. Sister, you may not believe it, I saw A-Ning in a very real dream a year before I met her.
Ji Xin'an: Dream lover?
Ji Xin'an smiled, no longer able to see the worry on her face.
Lin Chengshu: Sister, when you go back in a while, you must not show sadness and sadness, and don't let your family worry.
Ji Xin'an nodded.
Lin Chengshu: Sister, A-Ning and I have the same birthday, it's fate! I'm one year older than her!
Ji Xin'an: There is indeed fate.
Lin Chengshu followed Ji Xin'an out of the car, she wanted to help with the luggage, they were all some specialties that Lin Chengshu bought in Beijing, and Lin Chengshu picked some light ones for her.
They walk through a forest of yews, which are mostly three to four meters tall.
Ji Xin'an: I heard from the older generation that during the war, this area was a mass grave, and many sacrificed soldiers were buried here; Later, a school was built here, and the 403 Martyrs' Garden was built later. The bones of the martyrs were buried in the Martyrs' Garden, and the area was deserted. In the third year of the year, there was a man named Chen Million in the village, who made money doing business in other places, came back to build a big house, and rented this land to plant trees, and I heard that he was very rich by planting these trees.
Lin Chengshu: Renting land?
Ji Xin'an: Yes, I heard that he spent 50,000 yuan to rent it for 30 years!
Lin Chengshu: 50,000 yuan in 03 years is a lot, at that time money was very valuable, and now one or two trees can be sold for 50,000 yuan!
Ji Xin'an: Yes, by the way, do you want to go to the Martyrs' Garden?
Makoki Hayashi: Is that okay now?
Ji Xin'an: You are a soldier, you should be able to, since you have come here, it is okay to go and pay tribute to the martyrs; Besides, we're almost home, so we'll be fine for a while.
Lin Chengshu: Okay, then let's go in and pay respects.
Ji Xin'an: Okay!
After leaving the forest, they walked to the path on the right, and after walking for a while, they saw Tongzhou Middle School, and there were many students at the school gate, and it was time for the end of class.
Lin Chengshu: Sister, did A-Ning study in middle school here?
Ji Xin'an: Yes, there is still a photo of her on the honor column of the school! She is the only person who has gone out of this school to study and be admitted to the university by herself, and she is the pride of the school and the whole township!
Lin Chengshu saw Ji Xin'an's proud expression, and thought that A-Ning was really amazing!
They walked a long way from the path next to the school gate, and they could smell the wine; Before Lin Chengshu could ask, Ji Xin'an told him first; There is a winery in front of it, which specializes in sorghum wine, and this wine is also famous in this area!
Lin Chengshu: I haven't drunk liquor yet, the army is forbidden to drink, hehe.
Ji Xin'an: Actually, wine is not a good thing, it's best not to drink it!
Lin Chengshu: A-Ning said that Uncle doesn't drink or smoke?
Ji Xin'an: Yes, my father is not in good health, and when we were young, my father often took all kinds of medicines and couldn't smoke or drink. In addition to the grandfather who loves to drink at home, the uncle and the third uncle can drink, but they don't like to drink very much, and they only drink when they have to drink.
Lin Chengshu: How about bringing some wine back to grandpa for later?
Ji Xin'an: Grandpa may not be able to drink it, but if you want to bring some, grandpa was in good spirits this morning and ate five eggs in sugar water.
Ji Xin'an looked at Lin Chengshu's puzzled appearance and explained.
Ji Xin'an: It's boiled poached eggs with sugar.
Seiki Hayashi: Oh, it's a different name, but I've eaten it.
After passing the winery, you can see the words 403 Martyrs' Garden, and there are two tall evergreen trees at the door, and a monument is surrounded by a wall.
